THIS IS ONE OF SIX RECORDED 1861 5¢ CARMINE NASHVILLE PROVISIONALS USED IN COMBINATION WITH UNITED STATES POSTAGE.

Adams Express Company was required to ensure the prepayment of government postage (Federal and Confederate), although the letter was carried outside the regular mails. The letters never actually entered the mails at Nashville, and instead, the blue "Postage Paid" marking was used to indicate prepayment. Very few covers are recorded with Confederate provisional stamps or markings used in conjunction with thru-the-lines express service.

Of the Nashville provisional express combination covers, seven are known with the 5¢ and three with the 10¢. US$7,500-10,000 (Image)
